Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) register

The Privacy (Australian Government Agencies – Governance) APP Code 2017 commenced on 1 July 2018 and requires agencies to conduct privacy impact assessments (PIAs) for all ‘high privacy risk’ projects.

A privacy impact assessment (PIA) is a systematic assessment of a project that identifies potential privacy impacts and recommendations to manage, minimise or eliminate them.

A high-risk privacy project is one that involves new or changed ways of handling personal information that are likely to have a significant impact on the privacy of individuals.

Privacy Impact Assessment register

Our Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) register has been prepared in accordance with section 15(1) of the Privacy (Australian Government Agencies – Governance) APP Code 2017.
